what did you expect? Two U.S. Soldiers Killed in Quran Burning Backlash

"Two U.S. troops were killed early Thursday morning in Afghanistan, bringing the total number of American soldiers killed in apparent retaliation for the burning of Qurans by NATO personnel to six.

The Associated Press reports that the two Americans were killed at a joint NATO-Afghan base in an attack by a small group that included an Afghan soldier and a literacy teacher at the base. U.S. officials believe there were likely three attackers, two of whom were killed by return fire. A third soldier was also wounded during the attack.

At least 30 Afghans have died, and scores more injured, amid the ongoing riots and anti-American unrest."
